The Juristac Committee will decide & talk to you if your condo

If renting, contact your landlord, they will not talk to you direct

I am the owner. But this does not make it more easy. Take the German law - if you live above my condo and damage my property you will be liable. But if you are a tenant in my condo you might not get anything from the person above my condo causing the damage to your tenant property. I know the laws in several countries. But without being able to read Thai I don't know the law in Thailand. I could ask a lawyer. But lawyers might simply rip me off for their own benefit.

If they fixed the pipe it seems they are admitting they are responsible for damage. That is logical. As are the Thais. Huh?

I wished it would be that simple. But sadly it is not. Look at my example in post #15 from Canada. If I ever find out the correct Thai laws I will let you all know. To consult a lawyer I want to avoid. In the worst case I will give this problem to my insurance. They for sure have an interest not to pay anything if they don't have to. But I still have hope that this will not be necessary. The insurance might not renew my contract if they have to pay... 

Below an example of the Canadian law. You might be very surprised. I was. But I still don't know the Thai law for my case. If you look at this Canadian example the law is not always what one would expect. Sadly I can't read Thai. Otherwise I might have found the answer already.

What did the Juristic Person say when you asked them that question?

So far they fixed the pipe only. We didn't discuss the problem of my condo yet. But it will happen the next days. Before I talk to them I would like to have some legal knowledge. This can make the discussion much easier. If by law I will have to pay for the damage in my condo then there is not much to discuss.

Has the condo already confirmed to you that the pipe is not associated with another unit? 

Yes. The pipe is common property.

Check your insurance policy to begin with, the juristic person should be able to tell you where the resposnsibilty lay. I would seek professional advice.

I know the laws in Germany for instance. Sadly I can't read Thai and so it is not easy to find out how this is in Thailand. But perhaps somebody had such a problem already and can share his experience. 

A water pipe belonging to the common property broke and the water damaged the floor in my condo. Does anybody know who will be responsible for fixing and for paying the floor of my condo according to Thai law?
